Cat and Bearded Dragon Filmed 'Having Sleepover' in Viral Video - Newsweek

-

A video of a cat who is lying next to bearded dragon in a heated tank has gone viral online, having attracted more than 1.6 million views.

In the footage, which was shared to the app by an account called Alexistesaas, we can see a ginger feline lying next to the lizard inside its tank.

The clip, which can be watched here, is made all the more amusing by the fact that the to animals appearing to be ignoring each other as they soak up the heat from the lamp which is shining into the tank.

The footage has garnered a lot of attention on TikTok since it was posted on November 28, with nearly 400,000 likes and 9,000 shares.

The video was also reposted to popular Instagram meme account Pubity on December 2, where it has attracted a further 150,000 likes.

Many people have also flooded the comments section with their opinion on the bizarre friendship.

One social media user, Soph, wrote: "That cat definitely loves the heat lamp."

Another person, Ooga Booga, added: "They're having a sleepover."

Jillian joked: "Romeo and Juliet look different here."

Slimjim remarked: "Just a cat and a lizard vibing. Not a cellphone in sight."

Monicud made the pun: "You've got to be kitten me right meow."

Slxy_junior commented: "The lizard is like "no sudden moves" and the cat is like "just 1 move and I attack."

However, others were concerned about the bearded dragon's safety, with Doglover7111 typing: "No judgement, please move the heat lamp higher in the tank, the way it is currently could burn your Dragon."

Sarah Jordan opined: "I agree about those lamps though. Beardie is going to get burnt."

Although it depends on the lamps wattage as to how hot it actually is BeardedDragonCare101.com advise placing "a wire mesh screen cover between your bearded dragon's terrarium and the heat bulbs."

The website also explains that it is important to "use correct heat lamp wattage for the size of terrarium."

It suggests that, if you are unsure as to "what size bulb best fits your terrarium ask your local reptile veterinarian, or pet store for assistance."

However, it seems that the cat and the lizard are not always so harmonious when together.

A later video, shared on November 27, shows the cat clambering into the tank as the bearded dragon looks angrily on, its mouth open and body in a hostile stance.

This clip, which has attracted more than 7.4 million views, is captioned: "Cena was not having it today #fyp," alongside a string of crying-face emojis. It can be viewed here.

Rare Frogs And Illegal Drugs - Palisades Hudson Financial Group

Colombian conservationist Ivan Lozano has hit on a brilliantly promising strategy to protect his country’s rare and endangered amphibians. His plan: Flood the market with them. Lozano is not hunting rare frogs in Colombia’s Andean forests. He is raising them himself and selling them at prices designed to undercut poachers and smugglers. If he can raise the frogs cheaply enough, and in large enough numbers, he might manage to drive down the market price to the point that poachers no longer find it worthwhile to harvest and smuggle the creatures onto the black markets. Lozano told The Associated Press that his company also encourages collectors to breed their own frogs. Picture yourself as a poacher. If the government toughens the legal penalties and steps up enforcement, you will shrug your shoulders; legal risks are a basic cost of doing business. Since the demand for your product already exists among foreign collectors and other buyers, tougher enforcement merely reduces supply a

Burn scars, winter storms threaten rare and endangered species in San Gabriel Mountains - The Bakersfield Californian

LOS ANGELES — Up until a few weeks ago, the West Fork of the San Gabriel River was one of the most abundant wildlife habitats in Los Angeles County, a secluded and rugged area defined by its steep peaks, lush canyons and mixture of rare and endangered species. Recently however, a team of federal biologists and forest rangers was aghast when it visited the stream following the Bobcat fire, which has burned more than 115,000 acres in the heart of the San Gabriel Mountains National Monument. Terrain that once resembled a High Sierra granite gorge now looked like ground zero after a nuclear explosion, and the usually clean mountain air was sharp with the stench of smoke. Particularly unsettling were the bare and ashen slopes that were now primed to dissolve under pounding winter storms. A heavy mudslide, experts said, could reverse decades of conservation efforts by inundating the last outposts for such federally protected species as the Santa Ana sucker fish and Southern California m
